The eost of a License
(CONTRIBUTED)
Little Willie came in with a glowing face
His questioning eyes showing justa trace
Of excitement, and, maybe, of envy too,
In their sunny depths so sweet and blue,
And he said, as his curls from his brow he
tossed,
"Auntie, what is a license, and what does it
cost?
Ned Baker's father, he told me at play,
Was going to buy a license to -day,
Papa's as rich as the Bakers, I know,
Why couldn't we have a license too."
O'er her soul crept a cold, dread wave,
Such as we feel by a yawning grave;
A look of terror stole into her face;
She elapsed the child in a close embrace
As it she feared he might bo lost;
"I don't know just what the licenses cost,
But the lioense that Baker will buy, I think,
Is a license to sell his neighbor drink.
Fifty dollars, I think, that Ephraim Stone
Paid for one in days that are gone;
I paid mb're than ten thousand times,
Though 'twas not all in dollars and dimes.
My husband, your grand -uncle, Cyrus Jones,
Used to go over to Ephraim Stones,
At first j . Task an hour away
And see what others had -to say,
But bye and bye he took to drink; V�
Oh, my heart grows sad when I stop to think
How the dark storm gathered as time went by
Till no light was left in my life's dull sky
Slowly hope was crushed and never more
Could I trust and believe as I did before;
But there were the children, Bessie and Jack,
I had hoped for a time they might win him
back.
Sometimes remorse would o'er him sweep,
And he'd promise while I would pray and
weep
That for the sake of those children and me
He would be the man that he:used to be;
And that meant much, never prouder wife
Than I, till that license wrecked my life,
But the promise was brokenilay by day,
The darkness grew denser about my way;
His love seemed a thing of the long ago,
And, at last, one day he struck me.a blow;
Years have passed, but on my brow
I seem to feel it burning now.
Joy and gladness were long since fled,
Hope in my heart lay crushed and dead,
But when lie struck me that bitter blow
The last faint spark of love died too. •
He died very soon in a drunken spree,
I suss almost glad for it set me free,
my very life was wrapped up in Jack,
Surely he would not follow his father's track,
But e're I knew it my bright, brave son
Was a slave to that license of Ephraim Stone.
Oh, Willie, my darling, I oannot tell
How the night of horrors over me fell,
And the storm -clouds gathered thick and fast
O'er my hap'ees head till they broke at last
And my beautiful boy was brought home dead,
Slain by a comrade's hand, they said;
Over there in the shadows dark and deep
He lies while I still live and weep."
"And Bessie," you say, "well there came to
our plane
A gay young man with a handsome face)
He was bright and pleasant. and winning too,
Such as girls are apt to fancy, you know;
I begged and pleaded, for it was known,
He liked the tavern of Ephraim Stone;
'Twee all in vain, these tears will start,
She married him and he broke her heart;
Scarce two years and she lay at rest,
With my only grand -child on her breast,
I'm childless and hopeless and all alone,
All for that license of Ephraim Stone.
All alone I live and I sit and wonder
If when I search that home over yonder
I shall find even there all I've loved and lost
God only knows what that license cost.

and care are required, and the room in
whioh they work is not open to visitors.
First the engraver works out his design
of face or figure, and after transferring it
by hand to a plate of soft steel the plate is
hardened and a soft steel roller takes the
iinprossion Prom it. After this roll is
chilled another impression is taken upon
another "steel plate, and after this latter
has been hardened it is ready for use.
The geometric lathe which snakes the
borders is so coinplete and wonderful a
piece of meohanisin as to seem almost
alive. Tho graceful lines for the borders,
backs and other conventional designs seen
on the notes are made by this machine, if
indeed it may be palled one. After a reti-
culation the machinery is set in motion
by steam power, the tiny diamond and
steel points begin their work, and the re-
sult of this mathematical oaloulation
shows on the small section of steel an in-
tricate border of the undulating, circular
lines, with their strange effect of light and
shade. This lathe work is ono of the
surest guards against counterfeiting, for
each bit of work represents an abstruse
problem.
In the engraving room are two large
vaults, in whioh are kept all the plates,
rolls and other implements, the position of
head of the department being a very im-
portant and trustworthy one, as it is one
of the few offices where great coniyience
is placed in the honesty of one man.
The paper for all the Issues is manao-
tured at Dalton, Mass., under the super-
vision of government officials, and that
used for the bank notes, silver certificates,
etc., is sent out in sheets large enough to
contain four notes. In appearance it is
like any other very heavy linen paper, ex-
cept that it has two perpendicular lines of
short, uneven silk threads running
through it.
On being received it is taken with the
blue and white papers for the internal
revenue and postage stamps (both water
marked) to the "wetting department," as
it is called, where it is counted and re-
counted, and a receipt given for it. Then
it is put between wet clothe and pressed,
being shifted about every six hours to in-
sure each sheet an equal amount of mois-
ture. This process lasts about three days;
then, after another counting, it is deliver-
ed to the printer, who must give a receipt
for the sheets given him. At the end of
the day he returns another check, stating
the quantity received, the number of notes
he has printed and the blank or spoiled
sheets to be returned.
The printing room is a scene of great
activity, with its many presses and work-
ers. Here the paper is again moistened by
applying it to a wet board, then it is laid
on a steel plate that has been carefully
prepared *Ith the ink, whioh also is made
on the premises. There aro two workere
at each press, usually a man and a woman.
The man fills the plate with ink from a
roller, then wipes it off and finally, after
dusting his hands with chalk, he gives it
a last polishing. Then, after wetting the
paper, the woman lays it on the plate,
the press is applied, and behold the
clear, clean back of the notes, whioh must
be carefully examined before they leave
the printer's hands. This process is re-
peated eaoh time. The press is a self reg-
istering one, and the employees are al-
lowed to spoil a certain percentage of their
work, but if they exceed it their labor is
deducted.
Then the notes are sent down stairs, and
for 12 hours are subject to great heat in
an airtight room. In the room adjoining
they are again examined,' assorted and
sent bank to receive their "face value"
from the plates prepared, showing the de-
nomination and the facsimiles of the sig-
natures of the proper officers.
Then comes the "wet count," as it le
palled, and after being dried the notes are
put In a solution of eking, which gives a
greater durability to the paper. After this
short process they are,= again sent to the
numbering room, where the edges are
trimmed, and the number is put on by a
machine whose every revolution auto-
matically throve the figures one digit
higher. In this room they are given the
last count and are then sent to the trees -
try department, whore the red seal of the
Un ted States treasury is affixed and the
stn a sheet out into four notes.
N ar this room is a great vault with a
double time look, where all the work, no
matter what its stage of development, is
sent for the night. It must all be in and
all the accounts must balance or no one is
allowed to leave the building. The supply
in this vault is always a little in advance
pf the demand of the treasury, and once
tn there is no getting it out, except on the
requ)sition of the ohfef of the division.
One man is never allowed alone in the
vault. There must always be two or more
In at the same time.—Philadelphia Times.

er and as I was past the three snore and
ten I thought my time had Dome. Next 1
took fainting fits and often I would have to
be oarried back to the house entirely help-
less. The doctors said my trouble was gen•
eral weakness due to old age and advised
me to carry some stimulant with me to use
when I felt a faintness coming on, but this
I refused to do. I had read in the papers
of Dr. William's Pink Pills, and thought
they would be specially adapted to my case.
I tried one box but they -did not seem to
help me. In fact I thought I felt worse. I
decided to continue them, however, and af-
ter taking four boxes there was a marked
improvement. My strength returned and
I was no longer tronb'ed with fainting,
spells. In six months time with this treat-
ment I gained fifteen pounds, taking in all
eight boxes of the pills. Today I am a
well man and I owe my complete recovery
to Dr. William's Pink Pills.”
These Pi1Is'oare not by purging the sys-
tem as do ordinary medicines, but by en-
riching the blood and strengthening the
nerves. They cure rheumatism, sciatica,
locomotor ataxia, paralysis, heart troubles,
erysipelas and all kinds of weakness.
Ladies will find them an unrivalled medi-
cine for all ailments peculiar to the sex; re
storing health and vigor, and bringing a
rosy glow to vale and sallow cheeks. There
is no other medicine just ae good. See that
the full name, Dr. William's Pink Pills for
Pale People, is on every package you buy.
If your dealer does not have them,they will
be sent postpaid at:50 cents a box,or 6 boxes
for $2 .60, by addressing the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont., or Schen-
ectady, New York.
Twain's Material for Stories.
In Berlin, when one pays his fare to the
conductor of a street car, he receives a tick-
et which is soon afterward oolleoted by an
inspector. One day, just as a joke, Mark
Twain paid his fare fifteen times on one
trip, each time throwing the ticket out the
window or under his seat as soon as he had
deposited the regular fare with the con-
ductor. A few minutes later the inspector
would get on the car and demand tickets
all around. Of course Twain had none to
show and had to buy another, apparently
with reluctance. The performance amus-
ed the American, dumfounded the conduc-
tor, who had never met so reckless a pas-
senger, and tickled the native passengers,
who thought the foreigner well punished
for his negligence. By this modest invest-
ment material was obtained for a capital
story, which netted Mark Twain just five
hundred dollars.—October Ladies' home
Journal.
Making Firecrackers.
An American consul in China, who has
seen the native firecracker manufacturers
at work, thus describes the process:
"The straw paper is first rolled by hand
around an iron rod, whioh varies In size
according to the size of cracker to be made.
To complete the rolling a rude machine is
used. This oonsists of two uprights sup-
porting an axis, from whioh is suspended
by two arms a heavy piece of wood, slight-
ly convex on the lower side. There is just
room between this swinging blook and the
top of the table to place the cracker. As
each layer of paper is put an by hand, the
cracker is planed upon the table, and the
suspended weight is drawn over the roll,
thus tightening it until no more can be
passed under the weight.
In filling crackers 200 or 800 are tied
together tightly In a bunch. Red play le
spread over the end of the bunob and ford-
ed into the end of eaoh cracker wfth a
punoh. While the clay is being tamped
In a little water is sprayed on it, which
makes it pack closer. .The powder to
poured to at tho other end of the cracker.
With the aid of an awl the edge of the pa-
per 1s turned in at the upper end of the
craoker, and the fuse is inserted through
this."

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE.
Humble wedlock is far better than
proud virginity.—Augustine.
A husband is a plaster that cures all
the ills of girlhood.—Mollere.
Mon marry to maks an end, women to
make a beginning.—A. Dupuy.
A person's oharaoter is but half formed
till after wedtook.—C. Simmons.
Wedlock's like wine, not properly judged
of till the second glass.—Jerrold.
Never marry but for love, but see that
thou lovest what is lovely,—Penn.
A man finds himself seven yeara older
the day after his marriage.—Bacon.
Take not too short a trine to make a
worldwide bargain in.—Shakespeare.
For any men to match above his rank
Is but to sell his liberty.—Massinger.
No man uan either live piously or die
righteously without u wife.—Richter.
It is in vain that a man is born for-
tunate if he be unfortunate in his mar-
riage.—Dacier.
Men should keep their eyes wide open
before marriage and half shut afterward.
—Mmo. Sender!.
Fathers their children and themselves
abuse, that wealth a husband for their
daughters choose.—Shirley.
Marriage with a good woman is a har-
bor in the tempest of life; with a bad wo-
man it is a tempest in a harbor.—J. P.
Senn.
As the husband is, the wife is. If mated
with a clown, the grossness of his nature
will have weight to drag thee down.—
Tennyson.
The kindest and happiest pair will find
occasion to forbear, and soinething every
day they live to pity and perhaps forgive.
—Cowper,
LAUNDRY LINES.
Clothes carefully folded and sprinkled
are half ironed.
Black cotton hose should be dried and
ironed on the wrong side to prevent fad-
ing.
Pillow Blips should be ironed lengthwise
instead of crosswise if ono wishes to iron
wrinkles out instead of in.
Clothes when brought in should bo sep-
arated and folded at once. If allowed to
lie together, many wrinkles accumulate.
Sheets folded across, bringing the wide
and narrow hems together, then folded
again, then ironed across both sides, are
finished quickly and look ap well as if
more time were spent on them.
It is not needful to boil white clothes,
unless very dirty, and have the house filled
with steam every 'week. If the clothes are
folded and laid in a large rinsing tub and
boiling water poured on; generously, it
answers the purpose.
Wash silk handkerchiefs by laying them
on a smooth board and rubbing with the
palm of the hand. Use either borax or
whits oastile soap to make the suds. Rinse
in clear water, shake till nearly dry, fold
evenly, lay between boards, put a weight
on thorn. No ironing is required. Silk
ribbons may be treated in the same man-
ner.
THE LATE WAR.
Never mind about the pipe of peace.
We'll take a Havana instead.—Boston
Herald.
Spain is willing to sell the Philippines.
She might also be induced to sell Egypt
and India:—Cloveland Leader.
It took only three months to liok Spain,
but it probably will take a year or two to
finish licking the revenue stamps—Chi-
cago Times -Herald.
It may be permitted the Spanish soldiers
to take away their arise and personal be-
longings, but they must leave the island.
—Philadelphia Times.
When you come to size it up, you are
compelled to admit that Sagasta bad a
hard nut to crank and nothing to oraok it
with.—Detroit Journal.
The word protocol is of Greek deriva-
tion, and one of the roots has something
to do with "glue." Popularly interpreted,
it means that Spain is stuck for the costs.
—St. Louis Globe -Democrat.
BLATANT BLANCO.
Spain intends to make Blanoo stay and
help wash tho dishes.—Cleveland Lawler.
The only thing left for Blanoo to do id
sue Spain for abandonment.—Philadelphia
North American.
Spain should compel General Bianco t.0
stay for the evagugtion covert, , 141
takes place immediately after the berfprin-
awe in the main tent.—Washington Post.
